 Blessing the children |
The window commemorates Laura Kate Pearson (1855-1938) and was dedicated by the Bishop of Southwell on 2 June 1939. Reporting on the dedication service the Nottingham Evening Post provides a description of the subject matter:
'Its two panels, one of which depicts Christ blessing the children, and the other Christ giving a cup of cold water to a child, are symbolical of Mrs. Pearson’s main interests during her 25 years’ association with the parish—missionary work in China and total abstinence work. In the panel depicting the blessing of the children a prominent feature is a Chinese mother and her child, while in the other the drinking of water is the main theme, and included is a portrait of Mrs. Pearson dressed in appropriate robes.'
The inscription at the bottom of the window reads:
To the Glory of God and in loving memory of Laura Kate Pearson
Born March 3rd 1855 died October 19th 1938. |
